Episode 260 - Carolina Pong, Villa Tronco, and Columbia's Italian Festival with Tripp Roche
In this episode, we sit down with Tripp Roche to talk about three things that are deeply connected to Columbia: Carolina Pong, Villa Tronco, and the return of Columbia’s Italian Festival. Tripp shares the story behind Carolina Pong and how a love for table tennis grew into a community around the sport. We also talk about Villa Tronco, his family’s long-standing Columbia restaurant, and what it’s like carrying on a family tradition while bringing new ideas to the table. We also get into the Italian Festival and the work going into bringing this celebration of Italian food, culture, music, and community back to Columbia. Along the way, we talk about local business, family, Columbia, and what it means to create something that becomes part of the community. It’s a conversation about tradition, new ideas, and the people helping make Columbia an even more interesting place to live, work, and visit. Thank you so much for listening!
